Chapter 169 Loulan Ruins and Dragon Veins (Part 1, Part 2)

The living room of the hotel.

The four people of Team 7 sat around the dining table.

But it was not for dinner, but a small meeting.

"Teacher Kakashi."

Aburame Shiki took out a scroll and said, "This is a secret mission given to us by the teacher."

"No wonder the Hokage asked us to go to the Sand Village."

Hatake Kakashi was slightly startled, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

He had wondered before, how could such a job of connecting with the Sand Village be given to Team 7?

Now he understood that the real purpose was not the wine.

"Dragon vein?"

Hatake Kakashi opened the scroll and immediately fell into memories.

When he was young, he once followed the young Namikaze Minato to the dragon vein to perform a mission.

But the details have been forgotten, and he only remembers that the dragon vein was sealed in the end.

In fact, it is not forgotten.

In the original work, in order to avoid affecting the future, Namikaze Minato erased all his memories, including his own.

"What is a dragon vein?"

Karin asked curiously, "Do dragons really exist in the ninja world?"

"The dragon vein is the lifeblood of the earth. Simply put, it is a collection of chakra."

Shiki Aburame answered casually.

He suddenly had an idea.

Hatake Kakashi had discussed with him how to increase chakra before.

This dragon vein might work.

As for chakra, Shiki Aburame has no use for it, unless it is natural energy.

In theory, dragon veins should be a collection of natural energy.

But in the original work, it is explained that it does contain a lot of chakra.

But think about it carefully, if it is natural energy, how can the centipede use it?

For the specifics, you can only see it with your own eyes.

"Isn't it the same as the tailed beast?"

Karin suddenly got excited and asked, "So our mission is to bring back the dragon vein? It seems that it is time for my sealing technique to work again!"

Kakashi Hatake exclaimed.

This method sounds quite feasible.

But the dragon vein is not a tailed beast after all, and it is very risky to seal it rashly.

"According to the investigation of Lord Hokage, a traitor named Centipede has recently set his sights on the dragon vein."

Hatake Kakashi closed the scroll and said, "Let's find him first."

"We have found him, just now."

Aburame Shiki said with a smile.

So soon?

Hatake Kakashi subconsciously looked at him.

"It was the information given to me by Gaara."

Aburame Shiki opened a map and said, "After Centipede defected from the Sand Village, he has been living near the ruins of Loulan."

"I see."

Hatake Kakashi quickly figured out the cause and effect, and said in a tone of admiration, "You are worthy of being Lord Hokage."

All this is connected.

In order to complete Centipede's mission, Gaara was made the Wind Shadow?

No, this is more like a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"Get ready, and set off in fifteen minutes."

Hatake Kakashi finished his imagination and continued.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The four people were fully armed, especially wearing windproof coats, and followed the map to rush to the ruins of Loulan.

"It's here."

Kakashi Hatake looked at the broken walls in front of him and nodded affirmatively.

In the yellow sand, there were white buildings scattered in a mess.

They were thin and long as a whole, and looked quite metallic and mechanical.

"Karin."

Shiki Aburame looked around. There was nothing else except the desert, not to mention the centipede.

Kagura's heart eye!

Karin and Shiki Aburame have developed a tacit understanding.

She closed her eyes directly.

Perception expanded.

The situation of dozens of kilometers was in full view.

"Under the ruins of Loulan, there is a strong chakra reaction. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a dragon vein."

Karin said, "The dragon vein is not released, it is a seal."

"That's what the teacher left."

Kakashi Hatake said with some emotion.

Things have changed.

Back to the dragon vein again, the once high-spirited Minato Namikaze is no longer there.

What a pity.

Uzumaki Naruto didn't come.

But on second thought, it's better not to come.

There is no point except to add to the sadness.

"Have you found the centipede?"

Aburame Shiki looked at Karin and asked.

"No."

Karin shook her head and said hesitantly, "He may be near the dragon vein. There is too much chakra there, which interferes with my perception."

Aburame Shiki was thoughtful.

In the original work, the new Team 7 found the centipede under the ground of the Loulan ruins.

At that time, he was arranging the spell.

Although he couldn't unlock the seal of Minato Namikaze, he found another way and tried to absorb it directly.

As a result, the dragon vein was released, and they were involved in the dragon vein and returned to the past.

"Let's go down."

Hatake Kakashi sighed and said, "Although I forgot what happened in Loulan that year, I still remember the location of the teacher's seal."

He walked towards the Loulan ruins.

"So quiet."

Uchiha Sasuke frowned slightly.

"It's the influence of the dragon vein."

Hatake Kakashi explained, "Although the dragon vein is sealed, its leaking breath drives away all nearby life."

Soon, the four of them arrived at the center of the Loulan ruins.

"Go down from there."

Hatake Kakashi looked around and quickly found an underground passage.

He jumped first.

The underground passage, like the buildings above, is made of metal-like material.

Under the leadership of Hatake Kakashi, everyone successfully arrived at the seal of Namikaze Minato.

This is a huge underground hall, surrounded by dark passageways with no end in sight. In the middle is a stone platform.

There are four statues on the stone platform, and the statues surround the seal of Namikaze Minato.

An object that looks like an eyeball, with a flying thunder god kunai inserted into it.

"The spells on this earth are not left by the teacher."

Hatake Kakashi suddenly focused his eyes and said, "And it looks like it's not finished yet, it's just a semi-finished product."

"It's Centipede."

Aburame Shiki looked at it and said.

Kaoru ran up to Namikaze Minato's seal.

Because she saw a familiar technique.

This is the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan.

"Amazing!"

Xiang Ling observed for a moment and exclaimed in amazement: "There are actually outsiders who can master the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan to this extent!"

In theory, all the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan can be learned, but only the Uzumaki clan can truly learn the essence.

However, Namikaze Minato's accomplishments in the sealing technique were terrifying.

And this is not a single sealing technique, but a compound sealing technique, with multiple sealing techniques perfectly integrated together.

"That's the Fourth Hokage."

Hatake Kakashi said with pride, "His talent is something few can match."

"Where did he learn that?"

Xiang Phosphorus asked curiously.

If, like them, you learn independently through ninjutsu scrolls, your talent will be truly terrifying.

"His wife's name is Uzumaki Kushina, and she is a ninja from the Uzumaki clan."

Hatake Kakashi knew that Karin had just joined the Leaf Village and didn't know Namikaze Minato, so he explained.

"Eh?"

Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "Can a ninja from another village also become the Hokage's wife?"

Uzumaki Kushina is not a secret in Konoha Village.

After all, she attended a ninja school back then.

But there are only a handful of people who know that she is the Jinchūriki of the Kyuubi.

One of the reasons why Uzumaki Kushina can become the Lady of Hokage is that she is a Jinchuuriki.

Of course, this statement is actually not very accurate. On the contrary, it is more reasonable.

It should be that Namikaze Minato became the Fourth Hokage, and Uzumaki Kushina's identity played a big role.

"ah?"

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

How did you jump from that question to this?

And the current Hokage-sama is Tsunade, how can you be the Hokage's wife?

No, that's not right.

Kakashi Hatake reacted.

She defaults to the next Hokage being Aburame Shiki.

"May I?"

Xiang Ling looked at him expectantly.

"It's okay, but..."

Kakashi Hatake was interrupted by her before she finished speaking.

"Very good!"

Xiang Phosphorus was full of energy in an instant.

"Do not talk nonsense!"

Aburame Zhihui stepped forward, knocked her on the head, and asked, "Can you break this seal?"

Xiang Ling immediately calmed down. She looked at the seal and fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds, she felt a little guilty and said, "Not now. I'm not good enough. It will take a few years."

She was too young and had not learned the sealing technique long enough, so she was not as good as Namikaze Minato.

Aburame Zhihui was not surprised, he said: "Then find Baizu."

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly a deep voice sounded.

But it was soon covered by an even harsher sound.

That's the impact of metal hitting the ground.

Aburame Shiki looked up.

Opposite them stood a man in his thirties with a beard and a cold smile on his face.

But the most eye-catching thing is the four huge puppets next to him, which exude a breathtaking atmosphere.

"What do you people in the Leaf Village want from me?"

Baizu said calmly.

Apart from the confidence that the puppets gave him, Shiki Aburame, Sasuke Uchiha and Karin looked too young.

The only threat was the white hair.

It looks familiar.

However, Baizu looked down upon him and did not remember that he was the famous copy ninja Hatake Kakashi.

After all, he had only heard of it before and had never seen it in person.

"I should be the one asking you this."

Hatake Kakashi glared with dead eyes and said, "This is the place where the dragon veins are sealed. This is not the place you should come."

"Sealing the dragon vein? What a waste of behavior!"

Baizu's face showed enthusiasm, "You don't know the power of dragon veins at all. With dragon veins, I can unify the ninja world!"

Aburame Zhihui laughed out loud.

He discovered that the villains in this movie all have the dream of unifying the ninja world.

But the strange thing is that there is no shadow of the five major villages.

"Boy! You are looking for death!"

Baizu noticed his laughter and immediately felt insulted, so he raised his hand.

The bodies of the four puppets had round holes exposed everywhere.

The next second, the sky was filled with senbon, kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools like a heavy rain.

Uchiha Sasuke unsheathed his sword with a stern look on his face.

A harsh sound of thunder sounded.

Thousands of birds filled the blade of the Thunder Fire Sword.

Wherever it passed, the ninja tools were cut off and shot away.

"What ninjutsu is this?"

Baizu was shocked and blurted out.

"Is this all you have?"

Uchiha Sasuke was a little disappointed.

He jumped up and headed towards Centipede.

"asshole!"

Baizu waved his hands, and a huge puppet jumped up on the spot.

In the air, it punched out.

The chakra surrounded him and created a wave of air, which looked very terrifying.

Uchiha Sasuke snorted.

This momentum is far inferior to Aburame Zhihui.

The Thunder Fire Sword in his hand suddenly accelerated.

The white of the sword body and the blue of the lightning are intertwined.

Blue and white enveloped the puppet.

It paused in place.

Then countless sparks exploded, starting from the arm, and various parts were scattered on the ground.

"This is impossible!"

Baizu's pupils shrank, and her face was horrified.

Uchiha Sasuke was very satisfied with his reaction.

This is a normal ninja.

Because he often sparred with Aburame Shiki and Uzumaki Naruto, he had forgotten that they were perverts in the first place.

Although Baizu is a jounin, he is just an ordinary jounin.

And the puppet master's strength comes from his puppets.

Not much in itself.

The only exception may be Scorpio.

Because he has transformed himself into a puppet and is no longer a human being!

Since he is not a human being, he has no weaknesses.

"Sasuke, get him under control."

Aburame Shiki warned.

He was afraid that Uchiha Sasuke would chop Baizu to death if he got up to him.

"Arrogant!"

Centipede was enraged, he waved hard, and all three puppets rushed towards Uchiha Sasuke.

In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded.

Under Baizu's control, the three puppets all punched.

"A useless move."

Uchiha Sasuke opened his Sharingan.

His body shuttled between fists, and the Thunder Fire Sword in his hand kept moving.

Sparks and lightning all the way.

Uchiha Sasuke landed, looked at Baizu calmly, and then performed a beautiful sword flower.

The next second, behind him, three puppets fell down one after another, splashing dust on the ground.

Aburame Zhihui could only say that this wave of operations was overwhelming.

"this?"

Baizu was so frightened that he backed away, "You're just a genin, how could you do that?!"

His dream is to unify the ninja world!

Can't stop here.

Baizu hands in the mudra.

But just halfway through, I felt like everything was spinning.

Magical shackle technique!

Uchiha Sasuke pulled him into the illusion space, and huge iron nails were inserted into his body, making him unable to move.

"The mission went well."

Kakashi Hatake said with a smile.

He was quite satisfied with Uchiha Sasuke's performance just now.

Lei Dun and swordsmanship are really exciting.

With the help of Lei Dun, his father's swordsmanship will surely become great again.

"The mission has just begun."

Aburame Shiki shook her head.

"What's the meaning?"

Hatake Kakashi looked at him subconsciously and asked, "Are there any other tasks?"

"Sasuke, control Baizu and let him complete the technique on the ground."

After Aburame Shiki finished speaking, he explained to Hatake Kakashi, "Our mission is to try to conquer the dragon vein."

"Why?"

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but frown.

"Kakashi-sensei, don't you want chakra?"

Aburame Shiki pointed and said, "Now is the opportunity."

Hatake Kakashi was slightly startled.

Is it actually because of me?

Is it true that what Xiang Ling said before about using dragon veins as tailed beast seals?

Two in one.
